The first screen of this project works as expected when previewed in the browser but doesn’t work when used in Thunkable Live on an iPhone 13 Pro. On my phone, the sprite’s x value is never displayed.

In your project, the sprite doesn’t even move for me, is that the same result you get on the Thunkable Live app?

Yes. The sprite doesn’t change positions and the sprite’s x value is never displayed.
